EXCLUSIVE: Just 51,000 people completed Obamacare applications during the website's first week, out of tens of millions of Americans in 36 states

Obamacare's main signup engine attracted just 6,200 new customers on its launch day and 51,000 after the first week
At the same rate, the 6-month open enrollment period would sign up just 2 million Americans, including 14 states and D.C., which have their own insurance exchanges
The Congressional Budget Office says Obamacare needs at least 7 million customers to stay afloat financially
Numerous Obama administration officials have denied seeing any enrollment figures at all
MailOnline's sources are two Health and Human Services workers who have access to the data as it's crunched
Texas congressman says anemic national enrollment numbers are 'roughly the population of a small town in my district'

Shit, no wonder it went down. There's no way they expected 51,000 people to sign up the first week, probably expected more like 5,100.

"'Over 800,000 people in New Jersey alone have lost their current health insurance in the last month,' Martin said, 'yet nationwide only 51,000 people have received health insurance from Obamacare. The numbers just do not add up.'"
 
No one has signed up in Delaware yet:

Only Five Iowans Have Signed Up on Obamacare Exchange

A total of five Iowans have signed up for Obamacare through the state's healthcare exchange, according to a new report.

KCRG-IA reports that state Obamacare officials say, "We cannot say for sure whether anyone has successfully signed up through the healthcare.gov website."

Iowa reporters tried numerous times to use the government's Obamacare website to no avail. The government's website experienced unending technical failures due to shoddy coding and poor design, say experts.

Obama Administration officials refuse to tell taxpayers how many people have enrolled in Obamacare nationwide.

DigiTrends says "taxpayers seem to have forked up more than $634 million of the federal purse to build the digital equivalent of a rock."

Obamacare will cost taxpayers $2.6 trillion over the next 10 years.

There are those claiming to be smarter than most saying it will be revenue neutral in only a few years.

I believe the $2.6 Trillion is a cost to the government/tax payer. Atticus is including the profits by the healthcare industry in his calculations, which, if that is indeed what he is doing, I do not believe is a fair comparison.

Private Insurance company profits offset government expenditures?
I didn't know that.
I guess he is smarter than I am.
